The stay was better than expected. It’s an older property with outside entrances, but the room was quiet and the bed was comfortable. I would definitely stay there again.

We enjoyed our stay! The staff was friendly, the property was clean and it was very close to interstate. We felt safe at the property. Our room was very clean and decorated nicely. The bedding and pillows were very cozy. Checkout was very easy. We will definitely make this our new place to stay when we are in town!

Outside of hotel is nothing special, but room was nice enough and not too far from campus. It’s also nice to have a complementary breakfast, they don’t have everything you might want or expect from a higher end chain (I didn’t see yogurt or fruit), but it’s nice to have something available, including coffee.

Clean room, but the bathroom was rather small. Almost had to stand in the tub to shut the door. Breakfast was good. The coffee was bitter to my taste (but I don’t drink it very strong).

Don’t stay here with spouse or kids. If you’re looking for a cheap option for travel by yourself, it will suffice, but it was sketchy the first night we checked in. There were drunk, shirtless people everywhere and definitely participating in drug use. We were scared to walk from our car to the room (which has an exterior entry, this is a motel). I imagine this is the place in town to bring hookers. The room itself wasn’t terrible and the breakfast was decent.
